You know Kate Winslet in Contagion? Where she runs into a hot zone, risking her life, so Americans could be safer?

She was an EIS officer. That’s who was just fired at CDC today. EIS officers. And many, many more public servants fighting every day for your health.

If you are a journalist, consider applying for the 2025 fellowship! You'll leave with a notebook of story ideas, a year's worth of 1:1 mentoring by fellowship director Larry Tye, and a community of likeminded journalists. Plus it's totally free. hsph.harvard.edu/research/hea...

The move is part of the Center for Health Communication's efforts to help not only those in public health but also #journalists and #creators better serve their audiences' health information needs.

NEW from Yuning Liu, @amandayarnell.bsky.social, and I:

Our past field exp. work "influenced the influencers" to consult sci. evidence. Now, we find that exposure to that content improves mental health discourse on TikTok.
